    Who's going to ko him?

    I'll eat my hat if Lopez knocks him out. He seems really easy to hit.

    Jones Jr. was the only one of that list that truly deserved it.

    I'm not sure he could beat Linares let alone Loma.

    I'd like to have seen him fight Pac at a catchweight but that ship sailed.

    Lopez isn't particularly skilled, but he's a big boy with serious power. And Lomachenko's been getting hit more and more. He's got a puncher's chance.

    I wanted the Pac fight badly.

    :-(

    Liston
    Foreman
    Tyson
    Other guys like Duran and Hagler also carried menace into the ring

    He can make 126 but he's fighting at 135. Everyone can get KOed.

    Getting dropped by little cruiserweights with no power whatsoever takes away someone’s invincibility by A LOT.

    Perhaps but rising from the dead from a Wilder nuclear bomb adds to it.
